Final Fantasy ..Afterthoughts

swiss

The film was excellent. No arguments, please.

I guess what really impressed me were the, frankly, stunning CG visuals. Does anyone else love watching the FMV bits in games? I do, and the film was very reminiscent of the FMV sequences in FF (and other) games.

As for the plot itself - it resembled a FF game in itself. When the DVD comes out, people will half-expect to see FFX written somewhere on it. I really liked the originality of the plot (okay, perhaps it's not so original in the context of RPG games, but in the context of a film, I don't think I've seen anything like it). The spirits were deadly - when you first see them, you wonder why everyone was so scared of them - even if some of them did look vaguely like the Aliens (in the Alien films - with Sigourney Weaver). It's only later, when you see that they can steal 'souls' with a single touch that you appreciate the struggle the humans are up against.

I will admit that it's not to everyone's tastes. I believe that those who may not have appreciated the RPG's might not appreciate this as much as someone who loved it (like me - though FF8 was a bit of a disappointment)

Again, definitely one to get on DVD when it comes out.

What happened to it? It's hardly anywhere anymore and I didn't see it yet. It did well in the states didn't it?
